Marina Matykina from Moscow has been working as a store clerk at Babaevsky Confectionery Company in Moscow since 2019. On September 30 last year, she carried out her duties as usual—she carried the goods. However, he slipped, as a result of which he fell on his back and felt severe pain. The victim turned to doctors not immediately, but after a week and a half. She was later diagnosed with a spinal cord fracture and was hospitalized.
“I didn’t seek medical attention right away because I gave painkiller injections, hoping it was a shock of pain, and kept working.”
– the plaintiff, in a conversation with socialbites.ca, stated that “during the week the pain in the back has passed to the legs, it has intensified, painkillers no longer help”, and then went to the emergency room, from there he was transferred by ambulance to the hospital.
Matykina, already in the hospital “12. thoracic and 2nd lumbar vertebral fracture” was diagnosed. According to him, he needs a document to determine the degree of disability – a certificate of occupational injury – but Babaevsky’s management refused to provide it. In addition, the management also refused to accept the fact of an industrial injury, justifying this by the fact that it “could not find documentary evidence” of the accident. Because he went to the doctors only 10 days after the fall, the employer believes the injury was not received at work. But the woman insists that she immediately told her colleagues about her fall at work, and there are witnesses to it.
Disagreeing with the employer’s position, Matykina decided to seek compensation through the courts. The victim himself told socialbites.ca that at the moment his request is considered together with a claim for compensation for moral damage.
In court, it was said that the publication asked Matykina to void the act of not recognizing an industrial injury and force the Babaevskaya plant to prepare a new act in a serious accident at work, as well as to reclaim moral damages in the amount. 500 thousand rubles from the enterprise.
In addition to non-pecuniary damage, the capital resident plans to recover treatment costs and a lawyer from the employer. “Then I plan to sue Babaevsky for compensation for treatment and court costs. Then hopefully he will recover because at the moment the treatment has not been completed and the total amount is unknown,” he explained.
The publication does not have the official position of the concern, socialbites.ca sent a request to the company.
The Moscow Meshchansky Court has scheduled a hearing on the merits for April 20.
